The Situation That Now Exists
Among Northwestern Roads.
Daily Market Record.
The Wisconsin Central put in ~
cent fiat rate on wheat between Mime
apolis and Chicago to-day and made a:10-
cent milling-in-transit rate. Above 100
cars to be loaded with wheat by that
line were ordered before 10 o'clock in
the morning, to go out on the new tar
iff. JObberS in Minneapolis and st.
Paul are holding back their freight from
Chicago for developments after June l,
in expectation of much lower tariffs
then. Railroad officials still hope for
some general agreement that will stop
the tendency to decentralization on mer-
chandise rates. The prospects of saw
ing wreck of rates are not very bright.
Agreements in the recent past have not
been observed, and, with the memory of
their violation raging in the minds of
those whose roads have suffered by it,
reconciliation is hardly possible now.
Before entering new compact mana
gers will be asked to explain their diSre-
gard of the last.
Vice President F. S. Bond, of the Mil
waukee q st. Paul company, has spoken
for the public ear in the matter of
NOI GHWcSI IIclSnU COlilpcIillOll. I1o Sdlu
the Milwaukee d St.Paul had been con-
servative in order to avoid a war in
rates, but the Burlington q Northern's
aggressiveneSS compelS his road to take
immediate steps for its protection. The
st. Paul could not afford. to let. roads:
with small interest in the Northwest
deprive it of its prestige. He hoped the
good sense of the managers of the st.
PauFS competitors would yet prevent
disastrous conflict by taking steps at the
meeting next week that will do away
with the rivalry going on, and bring
about rates that will enable all the roads
to make a living.
If Mr.. Bond really means that he
would like to have amicable relations
re-established with his competitors, it
may be well for him to see to it that his
people do not violate their agreements
ON the first full moon. after making
them.

A CHARMING pAsT1ME.

Tt is a great pity that spring ever
leaves us since she affords such sights
as this, and when one looks upon a pic
ture like this, what is more natural, if
he be a man, than to wish that he were
the bird, surrounded by gilded bars, to
be fed from the snowy hands of so lovely
a vision. This picture can be seen along
the front of the rows of blocks on the
business streets. Up there many people
dwell, and if there is young lady in
the family she always insists on having
pet bird. Why? Because she can
hang the cage in the window, which
gives her an opportunity to
fiirt with the young men in
the street below. She is in the
window ostensibly to poke crumbs down
the throat of the feathered pet and let
it peck at her hand with its tiny bill,
but her presence there is really ac-
counted for by the yonng men down be-
low who look up at her and smile and
make signs with their handkerchiefs
and their eyes. 1t is only harmless
Irritation. A pleasant advertisement.
The only fun girl can have who lives
fifty feet above the world. 1t is only
just that she be forgiven.

this question OF slavery. The Fsdsrslists,

Rights, and promulgated, chiefly IN the In.
terests OF slavery, the tensts OF that political
school.

AssEMBLYMAN CRATE has introduced a
bill offering bonus of five cents per rod
for each rod of wire fence built. The
purpose is, doubtless, to encourage the
building of wire fences in the belief that
roads are kept in better condition through
the winter when bounded by wire fences
than by board or rail fences. There never
was greater mistake. The wire fence
keeps the roads from being impossible,
but it also keeps them in a barely pass
able condition at all times. There are no
roads in the county poorer throughout
the winter than those lined by wire fences
A good high board or rail fence will cause
the drifted snow to collect at the sides if
the road is of proper width There is
never a blockade with these conditions
and the road is always good. There is
never a good road near wire fences in
winter

CONSIDERABLE alarm is felt at the pro-
posed introduction into this country of
the Austrian rabbit. This species of
rabbits are wonderfully prolific and are
very destructive to garden products. 1t
is said that in New Zealand they in
terfere greatly with the sheep industry
by destroying pasturage. The loss in
exports in that colony through these rab-
bits, is estimated at S2,500,0o0 annually,
notwithstanding that every effort is made
to reduce their number, which in three
years resulted in the killing of 100000
600 of them. The department of ag-
riculture asks that congress take some
steps to prevent the importation of these
rabbits.
